ACADEMIC PROCEDURE #A-29 PR-6
SUBJECT
PROCEDURES
The following procedures will be adhered to for recognition of postsecondary equivalent courses offered by Contract Training, Distance Learning and Continuing Education Departments.
- Contract Training and Continuing Education Departments will provide the Registrar and the appropriate Dean with the list of planned courses which they believe might qualify for post-secondary equivalency.
- The list of courses will be submitted at the earliest possible time prior to the start of the course. All documentation pertaining to course curriculum/outlines must be appended to the list.
- The Dean will render a decision in consultation with the appropriate coordinators and/or faculty members on the equivalency of each of the submitted courses. A decision in writing will be forwarded to the department and the Registrar’s office. The decision will be stated as accepted; or not accepted, with rationale provided.
- When a course has been deemed equivalent, the course will be assigned the same course number as its post-secondary equivalent. It is the responsibility of the Contract Training and/or Continuing Education Department to ensure:
- I. The content of the course evolves to match changes in the postsecondary equivalent.
- II. The content of the course covers the learning outcomes as defined in the postsecondary course outline.
- III. The integrity of the student evaluation is maintained.
- Disagreements will be referred to the Executive Director of Student Services, Institutional Research and Registrar.
